Oooooh yeah! That's it. My hubby and I had a fight over it. He insisted on watching it all :)) So morbid!
Abby Gomaa (asker) Mar 13, 2008:
Sorry, It is called " Aldameer Alarabi"
Abby Gomaa (asker) Mar 13, 2008:
Yes, it's a new song, 45 minutes long , with 100 singers from different Arab countries. It is called " Alnakhwa Alarabia" or "Arab Conscience". Go to Youtube.com , you will find it. Very nice.
Noha Kamal, PhD. Mar 13, 2008:
Abby, is this some sort of a song? Why do I have a feeling I heard that line before? :))

Arab Gallantry

The only reason I have any doubt is that the song was translated "Arab Conscience"

Since it turns out that that the song is "al-Damir al-`Arabi," then I am certain.

Thanks.
neutral Yasser El Helw : Gallantry is when you are courteous towards women and pick up the objects they drop and things like that (not very strong with Arabs). Nakhwa is the ability to be stirred by injustice and to act in defense of your people.

Thank you. As you said, it is hard to translate. Gallantry also means "noble-minded behavior" and chivalry. Both of the two mean "be stirred by injustice."

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
“Nakhwa” is obviously a difficult concept to translate. My comment on Hugh’s “gallantry” was meant to heat up the debate and not to offend. I know that dictionaries give all these English equivalents for “nakhwa” but has anyone tried to search the other way round and to see whether “nakhwa” shows up as an option! If “pride” is عزة, isn’t chivalry فروسية? “Pride”, in spite of being my chosen option, has no place among good translators!
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
Peer comment(s):
neutral Alaa Zeineldine : Pride and dignity are العزة والكرامة. This is also how "Arab pride" is used in these examples.// gallantry and chivalry are appropriate. Their meanings are more general than courtsey towards women. Check "English only" and En/Ar dictionaries.

...and what is Nakhwa?
